    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Wundanyi, Hon. Danson Mwashako, sought a Statement on mining royalties and community development agreements from the mining activities of large-scale miners, pursuant to Standing Order No.44 (2) (c). He specifically raised the following concerns in the Statement request: (i) whether the Ministry could provide a list of all large-scale mining companies in the Coast Region and the amount paid by each as royalties since the enactment of the Mining Act, 2016; (ii) whether there were royalties being paid prior to the Mining Act 2016 and how much each company had paid by then in the Coast region and whether the communities will get any share of the royalties; (iii)whether the Ministry could provide a tabulation of the actual share of royalties in shillings going to the three main beneficiaries as per the Mining Act ratios of 70:20:10 – that is, the national Government getting 70 per cent; county governments, 20 per cent and the communities 10 per cent; and, (iv) whether the Ministry could give a clear roadmap and actual date it intends to operationalise the sharing of loyalties provision and, more so, what the communities expect. (v) The quantities of iron ore which have been extracted annually in Kishushe Location, Wundanyi Constituency for the last 10 years and the Ministry to provide information on the quantities transferred by RK Sanghani and Wanjala Mining Company after obtaining the court order, and how much loyalties have been paid on this consignment. (vi) how the Ministry safeguarded the one per cent community share of the total annual as stipulated in the Mining Act and the amount due to the people of Kishushe, Wundanyi since the Act came into force. (vii) the Community Development Agreements (CDAs) that have been gazetted and those that are still outstanding in the Coast and the inauguration of the ones gazetted. Hon. Speaker, the Committee engaged the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining on the above concerns raised by Hon. Danson Mwashako. I, therefore, wish to respond to the above issues as follows: On the list of large-scale mining companies in Coast region and the amount paid by each as loyalties since the enactment of the Mining Act 2016, currently, there are only three mining licences in the Coast region, which include the following: (a) Base Titanium Limited, which covers 16.7 square kilometres and specialises in mining titanium. The lease starts from 2004 to 2025 and the company is based in Kwale County. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
